Unit 20270

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: Basin fill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: basin; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 0.43 x 0.69 m 

Discussion: U. 20270 is a deposit of friable, dark greyish brown soil inside the built edge of u. 20224, which appears to be part of a Neolithic basin (f. 3965) left unexcavated at end of 2012 season.

2013: This unit was excavated to a depth of 7 cm. It contained no remarkable finds, although all was sent to flotation (except 10 L of material which were dumped accidentally. It was disturbed by animal burrowing to the E and the S. Although this layer was extremely homogeneous, it is unlikely that it relates to a single, intentional, or significant filling event. 

Recognition: clear- under 20230 (a later pit cut) 

Definition: clear- color and texture difference from surrounding built edge u20221

Post-depositional Features: animal burrowing through E edge of trench, exposure over 2012-2013 off-season

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
